I still have some problems understanding the %%staves directive,
and it still strikes me as being extremely cryptic compared with
putting the same information into V: fields in the header.
The draft standard says that:
"when enclosed by curly braces `{}', the voices go on a single couple of
staves (keyboard score). There cannot be more than 4 voices between the
braces."
So what's the difference between
%%staves {1 2 3 4}
and
%%staves (1 2)(3 4)
and if I write:
%%staves {1 2 3}
which hand is voice 2 on?
It seems to me that the use of {} here is both redundant and
ambiguous.
